Located in the metropolitan Phoenix area, the affordably priced Ken McDonald Golf Course is a championship-length course that is suitable for any level of golfer. The flat terrain of the course makes for an enjoyable stroll, while the water hazards that come into play on eight holes provide plenty of challenge. The water hazards are provided by the Western Canal, which flows directly through the golf course. The par-5 11th hole is the longest on the course at 570 yards; it is very difficult to reach in two shots. In addition to the course, Ken McDonald Golf Course offers several other amenities including a restaurant, club fitting and repairs, and professional golf instruction.

Good, but
Cousre apparently has a problem with freeloaders cutting in on #10 by the parking lot. We had two fellows do this on us.

We enjoy a beer on the deck after a round so having the bar open later would be appreciated. Closing at six does not leave time for that.. Otherwise , we enjoy your course!
